Deal | RTX 4070-powered Lenovo Legion Slim 5 G9 is 34% off right now

Many gamers are eagerly waiting for the debut and first comprehensive reviews of RTX 5070 laptops, but it should come as no surprise that these new devices will be significantly more expensive than current RTX 4070-equipped notebooks, such as the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 G9.

Consequently, it makes a lot of sense to consider buying a noticeably discounted Lovelace-based laptop. For instance, the aforementioned Legion Slim 5 can now be ordered at a nice 34% discount directly from Lenovo's official eBay storefront. This means that the 16-inch gaming machine is now available for just $1,165 including free shipping, which is a good offer considering its decent technical specifications and almost matches a very popular offer from a few months ago.

Legion Slim 5 features RTX 4070 and 165Hz QHD

In addition to the dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM and a TGP of 140 watts, Lenovo has equipped the Legion Slim 5 G9 with the fast AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS. This 8-core Hawk Point CPU works in conjunction with 16GB DDR5 memory, which is upgradable after purchase and can be ramped up to 32GB for roughly $70 on Amazon.

Moreover, this laptop sports a 1TB SSD as well as a QHD IPS screen with a QHD+ resolution of 2560x1600, 165Hz as well as 100% sRGB colors and 350 nits of brightness. We have reviewed the predecessor of this notebook, but due to the different CPU and GPU combo, only our impressions of the display and chassis will apply to the unit that is on sale here.

That said, the QHD panel is not the brightest in its class, but the potent AMD processor and RTX 4070 provide enough performance to play the latest games at QHD and high settings, although DLSS might be needed in some titles. For under $1,200, the Legion Slim 5 16 is arguably worth considering.
